I did poorly at SDD in school. I got 82. I do very well at uni. In hindsight it did teach useful stuff, but honestly how well you do in SDD or how much you like it just doesn't have much relevance to your own level of skill or whether you'll enjoy computer science at uni.

What a joke. IT is just about the most useful degree you can take! In fact, I'd strongly argue it definitely is the most useful. There's just nothing else that comes close to it in terms of utility, high-pay, working conditions, mentally rewarding work, diverse job options, and personal...

The Reserve Bank has completely undercut Abbott's debt argument, pointing out that Australian public debt is at historically low levels. The RBA also point out that they are not afraid to raise interest rates during an election campaign, however, which no doubt the Coalition will latch onto and...
